Trump Facing Ridicule Over His Plans for a $2 Billion Presidential Library…in Florida…Run by Dan Scavino

By

There are certain headlines involving Trump that literally make one laugh out loud before even reading a line in the article. This would be one.

Yes, Trump wants a two billion dollar library-museum in Florida. As crazy as it sounds, we can imagine a scenario where a lot of Americans would be willing to pay for a two billion dollar funeral … which is as far as we’re going down that road. But a two billion dollar library and museum truly is a joke telling itself, right now, but read on anyway.

Has he ever been to a library? We suppose it doesn’t matter because if he has anything to do with its planning it will not look or function as a library.

Have you ever seen the fountains in front of Ceasar’s Palace in Las Vegas? Been on that moving sidewalk that talks all about the fact that you’re about to enter the Roman Empire and all that? Good, because that’s nothing like this would be. It would be worse, so much worse, like Euro-Disney except every ride and shop is a MAGA ride and the gift shop will charge admission and be twice as big as the park.

The “book” available in this library will be “The Art of the Deal” and the Bible (He has to raise money). One might see a big glass tank holding the paper shredded in the final month. Nothing written-recorded-filmed or etched within its boundaries will be remotely true.

But this is true, according to the Daily Beast:

President Donald Trump is telling his supporters and donors he wants to collect $2 billion for a presidential library and museum in Florida, The Washington Post reports. He envisions it run by his social media director Dan Scavino, who formerly served as Trump’s social media director but more recently worked as his deputy chief of staff. Such a sum would far exceed the cost of other presidential libraries, but Trump reportedly believes he can raise it via small-dollar donations from a grassroots campaign among supporters.

Good. We “reportedly believe” that Nicolle Wallace wants to marry us, it just doesn’t make it true. What is true is that we have a better chance than Trump getting a two billion dollar library. We think.

Truly, for the benefit of the nation, it would be worth the taxpayers simply giving Trump two billion dollars not to build it. It sounds outrageous, but given that if he builds it, the taxpayers are going to end up bailing it out in the end anyway. So it’s better to just get ahead of it. Look at Atlantic City. Indeed, take a good long look at Atlantic City when his casinos were open because that’s likely the closest approximation to what he’d build.

Sweet baby Jesus on the zoning commission, this won’t happen. Right? Then again, he’s gotten foreign help on everything else. What a nightmare. Maybe it’s not so funny.

Twitter also had a field day:
